Can you tell me which LDAP browsers do support this scheme? After all, the other part of my message was asking for advice on which was best.
Ironically, I used to use the Netscape browser as my preferred LDAP browser, many years ago.
Yes, that's the historic reason my web2ldap still displays some LDAP URLs in <a href="">. Today I use these links mainly for constructing bookmarks. web2ldap simply processes LDAP URLs given as QUERY_STRING:
http://web2ldap.de/usability.html#persistent_bookmarks
Don't recall when they axed that feature,
It was part of Netscape Communicator 4.5+. It was never ported to Mozilla browser.
it was quite handy,
I thought about integrating web2ldap as a custom handler URL handler based on the Protzilla extension. But I never got the thing working.
and getting the results pretty-printed in HTML was really nice.
Well, it did not do any HTML escaping of attribute values at all. I remember that the public Bigfoot LDAP server contained HTML in some attributes which was directly displayed. So today with all the XSS stuff it would be a security nightmare in this naive form.
